You clearly don't get it, do you?
My point is how to tackle down the issue of handicap parking. Handicap parking lot discriminates drivers without a handicap parking permit (which is pretty much everyone else).
I used the idea of keyboard as an issue of universal design. Keyboard, likewise, counter-discriminates those of certain physical disabilities. Can a person with finger paralysis press a key without an aid? What about the visually impaired? Must they be left out as well?
Likewise, should a handicap parking be kept out of everyone else who aren't physically impaired? And leave the wasteful parking spots untouched?
I'm just talking about a parking spot that is universally accessible. Just as making a "keyboard" more accessible to the disabled [easy to use for those with varied disabilities, durable, versatile], making a parking spot more open to everyone, from labelling "handicap-priority" parking sign to engineering a parking lot specifically in a way to accommodate the drivers with accompanying disabled.
Seriously, how, where and why did you even brought up the mechanism crap about a keyboard?
The issue I was dealing with was the operation hurdles to the users [nothing else] and suddenly you yap about "the keyboard will break." Huh? What is your point about breaking a keyboard to a better design?
I mentioned the QWERTY because it was designed in mind, the WRONG WAY. Rather than making it efficient which it should, it forced the users to conform to the way a typing tool functioned. Otherwise, instead of pressing down tiny-ass keys to write, we could have made the typing tool much more simpler. Like touchscreen. Text-to-speech. Whatever shit makes it more comfortable for everyone, without having to take too many steps to make the tool work.
Is that a good design for you? Should a tool be designed in mind to the function, or in mind to the users? Answer that first please.
Oh, BTW, please teach me how keyboards are made. How durable the keyboards are. And how comfortable is it to use. As if you were an professional about it!
And take back that "Why did you bring it up? If you don't understand what you're posting about, don't post." with you.
